Deconstructing the McRib

the McRib is back but where did it come from let's talk about that good mythical morning the McRib is back you know what that means means you're going to McDonalds a lot more you just need like a third of a McGriff in one bite hmmm now he doesn't look like he loves it based on the look on his face but I think it's because he bit so much but this guy right here people face this guy right here loves the McGriff I mean I love my kids I love my wife but to see how he attack the McRib I question my level of love for the things that I love most I love how on the outside it says your old friend is back that's how I feel about it and yeah you've just taken a big bite out of it it's the telltale sign of that tangy barbecue sauce has left its mark on your lips the fact that the tender boneless pork is smothered and it means there's no way of getting away with this love affair it's like an affair with a sandwich now first of all this video is not sponsored by McDonald's the McRib or any pork Council which it we're going to find out is there even any pork in this thing I eat them a trip without shame and I look gross to some of you people up but you people have a problem I have a problem well I have a problem no problem I am grossed out now it goes away and it comes back and rats the sucker for anything that goes away and comes back I am I got a minute if it comes if it goes away and comes back boomerang seasonal item or if there's a picture of it in the window I'm like oh I'll take one of those I am that guy and I'm so it I think it was a year ago when they brought them in grab back and they did this deal like two for the price of one and you talked me into getting one but then they didn't do two-for-one I just got to it then when we got there you ate two for the price of two and I hate one went for the two particular and it was the first and last time I have ever eaten a McRib I will talk about the McRib because you know it is a polarizing sandwich it came out in 1979 cold there was actually Oh I was it was born in 1981 but in 1979 why why did the McRib happen you know they introduced chicken McNuggets and they actually had it were so popular chicken McNuggets were so popular at McDonald's that it caused a chicken shortage yeah that sounds like an urban legend you're doubting you're doubting facts now you don't think that's possible you're doubting facts now I mean I'm doubting you saying stuff yeah this would the internet said man so near what they were so popular there was a chicken shortage in McDonald's is like okay we need to bring in another item to appease people hey that chicken nugget thing went so well that fake pieces of chicken thing went well why don't we introduce a fake piece of pork kind of situation and the guy ran a errand who created this he was the inventor of the McRib okay he created it to look like a patty he created the patty to like a slab of ribs the fact despite the fact that there's no ribs in it it could have been round it would have been cheaper if it was round but they made it look like a slab of ribs that are boneless and then have the long one you know like this right here it's been the same since 1991 you get to make it more appetizing and you eating it like a voracious beast it isn't helping it later go and listen to get the word out about the Magrib because just watching me eat it you know I don't know how good of an ad that would be this is one of the first Magrib commercials right here this is how they did it what do you say this was again McDonald's cause at the McRib sandwich it's a new kind of queue McRib I don't see any bones hey who wants bones in a sandwich McRib is all me lean pork that's grilled and simmered in a hickory smoke flavored barbecue sauce hmm and put on a homestyle roll with pickles and onions well how about it mm-hmm the McRib sandwich a new kind of cute hmm that's the problem I haven't in doing this mm-hmm I like any commercial where there's a dialogue happening between a man and a voice-over artist you don't breaking that voice-over wall there made people that made people go absolutely crazy for the McRib well not really actually initial sales were mediocre can you believe it the initial sales of the magrib were mediocre and they completely removed it from the menu after four years so 1985 aunt to the McRib but then there was somebody at McDonald's said hey it's 1989 we're about to enter a new decade let's bring it back so fine I don't see the logic there I don't really either I'm just kind of trying to speak for him in 1989 and came back as a seasonal item and it basically has been a seasonal item ever since it comes back most of the time it comes back in November first so no one liked it I took it away but then the marketing genius is that taking something away creates demand for it but so bringing something back for people like you that's what that's what really gets your juices flowing well you're cute not only that I totally admit that I'm a victim of the psychology we're going to talk about the taste in a second but the psychology of taking it away and bringing it back is so affected that in 2005 McDonald's created a fake campaign called save the McRib so they basically said that we're taking it off the menu permanently and then they kind of went around people's backs created a save the McRib campaign people started signing petitions jay-z did the same thing did you know that jay-z had he developed in Magrib fan no he developed a competitor to the magrib no he said that he is that his last album was going to be his last album but then he made he made albums after that you better buy this album it's my last one except for the one after that and one after that and then the one I'm gonna do with Kanye and then the one after that here's a commercial from 1989 when they reintroduced the McRib looks like dad is bringing home the barbecue a big sack of McDonald's McRib sandwiches grilled pork and it's a CSULB's Tempe huh like a barbecue in a barn without the bones and with a big icicle tits Fred you're only human I'm Teddy Cho the goodtime great tasted of McDonald's McRib for limited time only at McDonald's only at McDonald's McDonald's oh my god that's the best voiceover for any commercial I've ever heard I'm a grown moustache and I'm gonna get a big suck on mcribs that's how I feel when I go out to give me clips for my eat them in my driveway when my family looks through their door now I admit the window the McRib is polarizing is given as a testitude by the fact that I couldn't do that I couldn't go out and get mcribs for the family I would be stuck eating because my wife and kids ain't gonna eat the Magrib and I know that there's lots of people out there who might be turned off by the Fang then the whole process from fresh pork - frozen McRib takes only 45 minutes and the McRib is made up of 70 ingredients including a bleach agent used in yoga mats now if those fights weren't enough I have taken the liberty to deconstruct a McRib in order to help you see the error of your ways once you take the sauce off of this thing look at it why simu not on what oh dude look at this look at look at it before you put it in your piehole listen tastes like yoga why why why simulate bones in something ah think about it man join me for this amazing adventure this one doesn't even have salt on it I got two more over here what sauce on here's my deal no I know I might eat it in good mythical more that'll be the deal if you stick around you can watch me tour here's the deal okay too close I understand that the McRib is much and nasty stuff in it I understand that it's fake moulded meat made to look like ribs but in our world especially out here in Los Angeles where everybody's about eat natural eat whole foods don't eat that process mess sometimes just to know that you're human in modern world you've got to just eat something that's made out of yoga mats just to know that you're alive and so every year and that's why they don't keep it there the whole year they bring it back and they serve this yoga mat thing well they don't want to kill you I think is every you know every once a year and people like me all across America in the world and in Germany they never take it away by the way Germans okay uh people enjoy it and they welcome in the festive holiday season by chomping on a McRib happy holidays you know what time it is hi everyone I'm Jimbo and I'm Bob hi and it's time to spin the wheel of mythicality we've got the 12 mythical days of Christmas taking place
